flow-framework

The Flow Framework is custom framework based on the FBP (Flow-based Programming) paradigm.

The idea is to allow any ES6 Javascript module that extends the Flow class to be easily and seemlessly integrated into the client-side or server-side of an application built using the Flow Framework.

Note that all Flow implementations must take 'id' and 'config' in their constructor in order to be properly loaded by the ModuleLoader.

flow-framework-cli

This tool may be installed by running
``bash
npm install --global flow-framework-cli
`

Once installed, a flow project can be started using
`bash
flow init
`

The folder structure of the project should look something like this:
`txt
package.json
node_modules
src
- all <- modules intended for both client and server-side use
- server <- server-only modules
- web <- client-only modules
`

Build the project with
`bash
flow build
`

Once built, you can run the default flow server with
`bash
flow run
``
This will start both the server-side flow node and a web server for hosting the client-side code.
